A man walks into a bar and orders a drink. As he's sitting at the bar, he notices a jar full of money on the counter with a sign that reads, "Win the challenge and take home the money!"
Curious, the man asks the bartender about the challenge. The bartender explains, "You have to do three things to win the money: First, you have to drink this entire bottle of hot sauce without flinching. Next, you have to go outside and pull the loose tooth of our meanest regular, Big Joe. And finally, you have to go into our back room and make our old parrot, named Captain Squawk, laugh."
The man thinks about it for a moment, then decides to give it a shot. He chugs the bottle of hot sauce without flinching, then walks outside to the patio where Big Joe is sitting. With a deep breath, the man reaches over and pulls out Big Joe's tooth. Big Joe howls in pain, but the man quickly heads back inside to complete the final task.
He enters the back room where Captain Squawk is perched on his perch, looking grumpy as ever. The man tries all sorts of jokes and tricks to make the parrot laugh, but nothing seems to work. Just as he's about to give up, the man remembers a silly dance he used to do as a kid. So, he starts dancing around the room, waving his arms and shimmying his hips.
To his surprise, Captain Squawk starts cackling with delight, flapping his wings and bobbing his head in time with the man's dance. The bartender and the other patrons rush into the room to see what all the commotion is about, and they burst out laughing at the sight of the man and the parrot dancing together.
The bartender hands the man the jar of money, congratulating him on winning the challenge. As the man pockets the cash, he can't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. And as he leaves the bar with a smile on his face, he knows he'll never forget the day he made a parrot laugh for a jar of money.
